Pizza ingredients 

Dough ingredients 
1 cup warm water (105°-110°)
2 ¼ tsp (¼-ounce package) instant active dry yeast
1½ tsp sugar
3 cups bread flour, or as needed
2 tbs olive oil
1½ tsp salt

Pizza Sauce Ingredients 
1 28oz can of San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes 
1 tsp Italian seasoning 
1 tbsp garlic powder
Salt to taste
¼ cup Italian Parsley chopped
¼ Yellow Onion diced
3 Garlic cloves roughly chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Toppings
10oz Freshly Sliced Mozzarella Cheese
¼-½ cup Fresh Basil chopped
Fresh Parmesan Cheese to taste

Instructions
Step 1: The Dough

-In a mixing bowl combine the yeast, sugar, water and a ½ cup of bread flour. Combine together with a wire whisk and let rest for 10 mins. This will give the yeast time to active.
– After 10 mins Add yeast mix, olive oil, salt, and 3 cups of the flour into a food processor or mixer. Mix until dough forms.
– Add flour to a large flat surface. 
– Remove the dough from the mixer onto the flat surface. Form the dough into a ball and place it in on an oiled tray. 
-Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest at room temp for 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
-Cut the dough ball in half and reroll each into individual dough balls. Add dough balls into a large zip-lock plastic bags oiled with 1 tbsp of olive and refrigerate overnight.

Step 2: Crust
– When ready to use, remove from the fridge and let the dough come up to room temperature before using. 
– Flour a large flat surface and lightly flour a rolling pin. (If you don’t have a rolling pin use a wine bottle or something cylinder like.
– Place dough on surface and roll out flat for an even pizza. Roll out dough large enough to fit the pan you are using. 
– Lightly flour a large 16″-18″ pizza pan (Or the size pan you’re using).
– Gently lay pizza dough into the pizza pan and fit your dough evenly all the way around.

Step 3 Sauce:
– In a small pot pre heated over medium high heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil. Sauté sliced onions in oil, until slightly translucent. Add garlic, continue sautéing until fragrant. Add San Marzano tomatoes and slightly break down tomatoes with a spoon. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, Parsley, & salt to taste. Stir, cover slightly, and let simmer for 10 mins. Stir and break down remaining tomatoes to your desire. Remove from heat, set aside.

Step 4: Cheese
– Slice 10 oz of mozzarella cheese into8-10 slices. Set aside.

Step 5: Building the Margherita
– With your pizza dough panned out, spoon or ladle 1½ cup of sauce (or as desired) in the center of the dough. Spread gently around in a circular motion until sauce is evenly spread around about an inch away from the edge. 
– Add sliced fresh mozzarella cheese evenly all over pizza as desired.
–  Add chopped basil over cheese.
– Drizzle 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, & Parmesan cheese to taste.

Step 6: Baking Pizza 
– Bake in a pre-heated 500° oven for 10-12 mins or until crust is golden brown and toppings and cheese have melted and cooked.
– When pizza has finished baking remove from the oven and transfer to a large cutting board.
– Cut into 8 slices or as many as desired and enjoy!!
